PIP: As primary health care (PHC) evolves from its original conceptual level enunciated in 1978 at Alma-Ata to its present formal body of knowledge and practice, 2 definitional problems arise: whether PHC is a transient jargon or label attached to nothing or whether the older, more restricted term primary care (PC) is the same as PHC. The 1st problem has been rendered irrelevant, but the 2nd remains unsolved. Some controversy exists in both literature and practice. Some health care professionals, especially general practitioners, use the terms interchangeably. This may be because of historic traditions based on the biomedical model of education and practice. The term primary care is credited to the Lord Dawson report of 1920, concerned with the reorganization of medical services in England which resulted in the setting up of health centers. Since 1960 under the National Health Service, general practitioners provided curative and preventive services on a 1st-contact medical basis and by 1962 the term was used to denote general practice. This tradition could have then spread to other western countries, including the US and to developing countries. To humanize this biomedical model, Engel proposed the biopsychosocial model which takes into account the biomedical aspects of disease, the patients' social context, their perception of illness and the interaction of the physician and the health care system. This increased health awareness contributed to the evolution of PHC, which evolved from small-scale experiments. A graphic representation of the relationship between primary (medical) care and primary health care illustrates the various consumer levels and the health care system. The multi-disciplinary concept of primary health care is not interchangeable with primary care.
